The law makers should be done for mass manslaughter!

Interesting that they had a column for helmeted unknown... Those accidents must have been really really messy!!

Very interesting with the category of non certified helmets. Presumably some form of cheap import being used by riders hoping to get a good deal. $10 head = $10 helmet?
At least they had the freedom of choice in the matter.

If you drop the law that requires helmet use then will someone die?
